Sure... just postprocess the files to add a header.

Attached is a Perl script that adds such a header.

Run it with Perl's -i flag (as shown below) if you use an operating  
system that for some reason does not allow you to run arbitrary  
scripts using the shebang (#!) mechanism. Otherwise, just mark it as  
executable and remove the "perl -i" from the examples below.

Of course, I don't know what your Makefile looks like,
but here's some examples of how you can use the script in your Makefile.

You can run it after you generate each of the output files:

%.o: %.c
        avr-gcc -g -Wa,-ahlds=$*.lst -o $@ -c $<
        perl -i timeStampHeader $*.lst


Or you can run it after you generate all the output files:

all: $(PRG).elf
        perl -i timeStampHeader $*.lst $*.lss


Or you can use it as part of a pipeline:

%.lss: %.elf
        avr-objdump -S $< | perl -i timeStampHeader > $@
